So I am going to brew my first beer with a lager yeast (WL820 Oktoberfest)
and I would like to have all your comments suggestions on the schedule/temps i will try to stick to.
-pitch a 2 L starter @69-70 Deg F and let sit for 24 hours.
-Begin to lower temps 7-8 deg a day until I hit 52-53, sit at this temp for at least 3 weeks.
-Bring up to 68-70 degrees for about 5 days (diacetyl rest?)
-Back down 10 deg per day until reaching 35-37 deg and sit for 30 or so days (lagering?)
-Bottle as usual.
I guess my biggest question is, should I just bottle after the diacetyl rest and then lager in the bottle?
All comments and suggestions are welcomed, thanks.
